There are times we do things we thought we'll ever do because of the love we have for someone, we might even do silly things just to make them happy or do things that will prevent them from falling into trouble even if we'll end up feeling bad after that. Me too I have been in the shoe of loving someone, I could do everything for her just to make her happy but something happened which made me feel bad... I did what I did because of her. Going down back to memory lane.When I was in secondary school, I have a friend who I loved, she's good but no matter how good someone can be, they'll always have flaws. She's extravagant and I have corrected her several times because of it, this attitude of hers made me do something I despise, which is lies.
During a new section at school, Individuals were told to buy lamlard chemistry textbook because it will be useful while preparing for our "O level" examination. She collected the money for the textbook from her parents and my parents gave me mine. I bought mine Immediately but she decided not to buy hers thinking the teacher will not make it compulsory, but unfortunately for her, after a few weeks, the teacher announced that everyone should bring the textbook to the next class. Immediately the teacher Left, I look at my friend, she looks so sad and I was forced to ask her what the problem was, she opened up to me that she has spent the money for the test book, and she can't dare to tell her parent what happened and if she doesn't get the book, she will also be punished by the teacher, I was angered with her attitude I left her without saying a word.
We went home together that day but I did not say a word to her because I was angry. That's one thing about me, being silent when I'm mad. The next day, I saw my friend again, sitting down like a dejected human being..lol, her smiling face turned into a sad face, she was afraid her teacher will tell her parents, although I don't like what she did, I still felt sad seeing her that way. The teacher came into the class that day and ask everyone to bring out their test book, but she and some other people don't have it. The teacher pointed at my friend and asked her about her textbook, I immediately stood up to defend her..."Ma'am, her money was stolen, she kept it in the middle of her book, but she could not find it again" this is a big lie!, I said to myself.
The teacher asked her and she said it was true ( liers). the teacher blamed her for not telling her the money was stolen, but she escaped the punishment. Deep within me, I hated myself for what I did, what if all the students in the class were punished become of the lie I told? my conscience would not have been at rest. After the class, she appreciated me for saving her from being punished, but I told her how I have been cautioning about her spending habit and how she made me say the biggest lie I have ever told, but I made her understand that I will never support/defend her if she tries anything stupid again, she apologized and promise to change. She changed from the habit and I was glad I changed her but swore never to do it again.
